Window Service
Enquire NowAt Window Service, we provide comprehensive maintenance, repair, and replacement solutions designed to extend the functional lifespan of your building's glazing. Our skilled technicians operate across the UK, ensuring that every frame and glass unit remains energy efficient and fully secure against unauthorised access.
By focusing on preventative care and precision hardware adjustments, we help property owners avoid expensive full-scale replacements while maintaining a comfortable internal environment.
When Should You Arrange a Window Service?
Building owners typically book a window service when they notice misted glass or persistent draughts within their premises. You should also act immediately if the window handles become difficult to engage or if the locking mechanisms show signs of mechanical friction.
Arranging professional maintenance at the first sign of wear prevents small defects from developing into costly structural failures that might require a complete frame replacement.
How Does the Window Service Process Work?
Our engineers begin the window service with a methodical physical appraisal to identify hidden mechanical defects. Once the inspection is complete, we carry out precision adjustments to the hinges and replace any failed seals or hardware components using high-quality parts.
Every visit concludes with a comprehensive operational test to verify that the units close with an airtight seal and provide the maximum level of security for the occupants.
What Services Are Included in Window Service?
Our technicians provide a diverse range of technical solutions when performing window service, including:
Technical Site Inspections – Evaluating the structural integrity of frames and the performance of double-glazed units.
Mechanical Hardware Repairs – Restoring the functionality of stiff or seized hinges, handles, and multi-point locking systems.
Glass Unit Replacement – Swapping out blown or misted double glazing with high-performance, argon-filled glass.
Draught-Proofing and Sealing – Replacing worn-out rubber gaskets and applying fresh perimeter sealant to prevent air leakage.
Locking System Upgrades – Installing modern high-security mechanisms to ensure the property meets current insurance requirements.
Emergency Boarding Services – Providing rapid structural security for properties that have suffered accidental glass breakage.
How Much Does Window Service Cost?
The cost of window service ranges from £85 for basic repairs to over £2,500 for property-wide maintenance or unit replacements, depending on the number of apertures and hardware complexity.
Costs are primarily influenced by the price of specialised replacement glass, the availability of obsolete hardware components, and the total labour hours required for precise alignment. Additionally, site access requirements and the need for specialised mobile elevated platforms for high-rise buildings will affect the final invoice.

What Energy Efficiency Standards and Building Regulations Apply to Window Service?
We ensure that every window service complies with Part L of the Building Regulations regarding thermal insulation performance. Our technicians only install glazing that meets current British Safety Standards, particularly when working in critical locations where impact resistance is mandatory.
By adhering to FENSA-accredited guidelines, we provide property owners with the necessary documentation to prove their building meets national safety and environmental requirements.
